our committee -- and committed to taking steps necessary, also acknowledging china took structural changes to ensure greater protection for intellectual property right and also mentioned agriculture since the deal went into effect. u.s. futures jumping one quarter of 1%. let's go to jodi schneider. how significant is the latest development, given we expected these negotiations to take place last week? we were waiting for a confirmation they had happened. isi do not think it significant in terms of the phase one deal or future potential deal. it's just a status check phone call. it was just going to be a status check, not real negotiations moving forward. so markets like it in the short run like today because it shows they are talking to each other but in terms of actual negotiations and movement toward coming together on trade, i think this was symbolic. it's also interesting, the timing. it comes as the republican national convention starting and trump is going to take a tough line on china during it. we have seen that in statements he has made, saying he thinks joe biden is going to give in on china, and he won't. be him trying to show the administration still wants to talk to
